Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei praised Hamas’ October 7 attack against Israel and predicted the “destruction” of their common enemy, AFP reports.
Khamenei, 85, was speaking at an event to mark 35 years since the death of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic which replaced a US-backed monarchy.
He said the October 7 attack by Palestinian group Hamas “was a decisive blow to the Zionist regime” and put Israel “on the path that will only end in its destruction”.
